overwraith Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 So I was talking to my dad (a windows admin type), and said it would be cool if we could make hardware, laptops, etc which had a combination lock type roller which would be used for changing the MAC address of the device. Have seen software for this, but never one of these setups. My dad reveals to me that some server equipment has this feature. So I was wondering if it would be at all possible to add this to the next iteration of the pineapple, would it be feasible? Would such a setup be able to change the combo while the device was on?

Mr-Protocol Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I've never heard of such a thing that let's you change MAC address like that. I haven't seen every server in the world, but my fair share. Instead of a new hardware for the Pineapple, I would look into utilizing the HDK and some hacker, technolust, goodness. https://hakshop.myshopify.com/collections/wifi-pineapple-accessories/products/wifi-pineapple-hdk?variant=1035181244 In response to changing it while it's on, yes. But the interface would most likely have to be turned down/off temporarily for the change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overwraith Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Ok, so after grilling my dad on what specific system it is he said it was the HP blade systems with virtual connect or something. Said the C3000, and C7000 chassis have this feature. You basically stick a blade in the slot and it will assume the given MAC address. I hope I did not misunderstand how it works though.

Mr-Protocol Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I'm not sure if changes the MAC address. The blade chassis itself can have it's own and the blades work behind that. It's a little weird but I have a few of them at work that have a tiny LCD and basic menus to do things. But I would think with the pineapple HDK you can hook up some hardware or whatever and have it tell the pineapple to down the interface, macchanger the mac, and bring it back up.

SixKids Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Mr-Protocol is most correct. MAC Addresses are 'normally' preconfigured for the hardware at the Factory. We can 'Spoof' the Address, but in doing so, a momentary restart is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 A lot of the HP blade servers let you specify theac address in bios. Can only think of a couple reasons you'd really need to do this. Not sure you can do it on the fly with a switch though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
